The Battle Against Cedar Fever: Texas' Worst Allergies Explained

Cedar fever, caused by the pollen from cedar and juniper trees, is starting to affect North Texas. The pollen levels are expected to increase in mid-December and peak in January. The concentrated pollen can trigger allergic reactions in individuals, even those who are not generally susceptible to allergies. It is recommended to take allergy medications, keep windows and doors closed, limit outdoor exposure, and change air filters to reduce exposure to the allergen.
